Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

I Shoulda Read the Fine Print 2

I shoulda read the fine print when I ordered an internet bride
She didn’t look like her photo and was twenty four feet wide!

I shoulda read the fine print, as she said she was QUITE hairy
But her beard is bushier than mine, oh I’m feeling so contrary!
 
I shoulda read the fine print when I purchased this old cow
Her teats are far too shriveled I cannot milk her now!

I shoulda read the fine print when I signed for my divorce
She took me to the cleaners and now I’m broke of course!

I shoulda read the fine print when I ordered myself a coffin
As I won’t be around at the end to see what they send me off in!

I shoulda read the fineprint contest
